mere bhagwan mere bhagwan
kiya tha paap kya maine
jo ye badla liya tune
mere bhagwan mere bhagwan
mere bhag me kya likh diya tune
kiya tha paap kya maine
jo ye badla liya tune

dikhaya kon sa sapna jo mai samjhi sawera hai
khuli jo aankh to dekha andhera hi andhera hai
bujhana hi tujhe tha to jalaya kyu diya tune
mere bhagwan mere bhagwan
mere bhag me kya likh diya tune

kisi ko sukh bhare moti mujhe bas dukh bhari mala
kisi ko prem ka amrit mujhe bas jeher ka pyala
mujhe bas jeher ka pyala abhagin se prabhu
kis bair ka badla liya tune
mere bhagwan mere bhagwan
mere bhag me kya likh diya tune

khushi to di jara si or hajaro gam diye tune
tere aansu saraakho par jo ye shabnam diye tune
jigar ke jakham ko aansu ke dhago se siya tune
mere bhagwan mere bhagwan
mere bhag me kya likh diya tune
kiya tha paap kya maine
jo ye badla liya tune mere bhagwan
mere bhagwan mere bhagwan

My God, my God,
What sin did I commit,
That you have taken this revenge?
My God, my God.
What fate have you written for me?
What sin did I commit,
That you have taken this revenge?

What dream did you show, that I believed was dawn,
Only to open my eyes to darkness, unending?
If you meant to extinguish, why did you light the lamp?
My God, my God.
What fate have you written for me?

To some, you give joy, to me, a garland of sorrow,
To some, the nectar of love, to me, only a poisoned chalice.
Only a poisoned chalice, from an unfortunate soul,
For what grudge have you taken this revenge?
My God, my God.
What fate have you written for me?

You gave a little joy, and thousands of sorrows,
Your tears on my brow, the dewdrops you gave,
You stitched the wounds of my heart with threads of tears.
My God, my God.
What fate have you written for me?
What sin did I commit,
That you have taken this revenge, my God,
My God, my God.
